When Meng Shenji saw the green-haired old man, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly let go of his hand and bowed to the green-haired old man.
"Senior Poison Douluo, why are you here?"
Bai Baoshan stepped forward and said to Meng Shenji with a smile:
"Senior Poison Douluo brought his granddaughter Dugu Yan to join our academy. As for whether the two children you mentioned are Poison Douluo's grandchildren, you should ask Senior Poison Douluo yourself."
Meng Shenji then looked at Dugu Bo, his eyes full of confusion.
Xue Tianxing and Oscar also looked at Dugu Bo nervously, their hearts sank - it was over, the lie was about to be exposed.
Xue Tianxing had even begun to wonder if he would be interrogated as a spy if the Tiandou royal family knew that he, the prince of the Barak Kingdom, had secretly broken into the campus. How would he explain himself to get out of this situation then?
Dugu Bo glanced at Xue Tianxing and Oscar, then turned to look at Dugu Yan beside him, frowned, and said to Dugu Yan in a low voice:
"Yanyan, do you know these two children?"
Dugu Yan shook her head, her eyes full of curiosity, and then whispered to Dugu Bo:
"No. I've never met them, let alone had a brother like that."
Xue Tianxing's heart sank completely - it's over, he's really going to be exposed.
But at this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly smiled and said to Meng Shenji:
"Oh, I remember now. These two children are from my distant relatives. I met them once before in Barak City. They probably heard that Yanyan was here, so they came to see her."
Xue Tianxing and Oscar were both stunned - why would Poison Douluo speak up for them?
Meng Shenji was also a little confused. He looked at Dugu Bo, then at Xue Tianxing and Oscar, and asked doubtfully:
"Is that really the case?"
Dugu Bo nodded, his tone unquestionable:
"Of course it's true. Why, Meng Education Committee still doesn't trust me?"
Meng Shenji quickly shook his head:
"No, no, since he's a relative of yours, it must be a misunderstanding."
Although he had just heard everything Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan said, now that Dugu Bo had said he was his grandson, how could he dare to ask more questions.
Xue Tianxing finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly gave Dugu Bo a look of gratitude.
He didn't know why Dugu Bo helped him, but no matter what, he was finally able to get rid of the trouble temporarily.
Because of this unexpected incident, Dugu Yan's admission procedures were temporarily put on hold.
Dugu Bo didn't waste any more time and took Xue Tianxing and Oscar with him to leave the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy and head towards his Dugu Mansion.
The carriage was traveling on the streets of Tiandou City. The atmosphere in the carriage was quiet and somewhat subtle. Xue Tianxing quietly observed Dugu Bo's expression, and his mind was still quickly thinking of his response. Oscar sat aside, his eyes full of confusion, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the previous incident.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent mansion - it was the Dugu Mansion.
The gate of the mansion was not overly decorated, but it exuded a sense of majesty that kept strangers away. When the guards at the door saw that it was Dugu Bo who came back, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
The three of them walked into the mansion, passed through several courtyards, and finally came to an elegant hall.
Dugu Bo sat down in the main seat, took a sip of the tea handed to him by the maid, and then his eyes slowly fell on Xue Tianxing and Oscar, his tone carrying a bit of scrutiny:
"Come on, you two brats. Stop telling me those distant relatives lies. What on earth are you trying to do by sneaking into the academy and looking for our Yanyan?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Tianxing's heart skipped a beat - it turned out that he couldn't hide it from this old poisonous guy.
Xue Tianxing was also anxious. After all, the original plan was to contact Dugu Yan first, slowly build a good relationship, and then gradually approach Dugu Bo. He didn't expect to be directly dragged to Dugu Mansion for questioning.
Then Xue Tianxing quickly glanced at Oscar beside him, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he said silently in his heart:
"Brother, I'm sorry. I have no choice but to sacrifice you this time. I will definitely compensate you later!"
Having made up his mind, Xue Tianxing immediately put away his previous panic, and with a sincere expression on his face, he bowed to Dugu Bo and said:
"Lord Poison Douluo, the reason we pretended to be Sister Yanyan's brother is because of a friend of mine."
Then Xue Tianxing pointed at Oscar beside him and continued:
"His name is Oscar, and he's a food-type spirit master. Just because he took one more look at Sister Yanyan in the crowd, he could never forget her smile—in his words, it was love at first sight.
He had no appetite and kept talking about wanting to see Sister Yanyan again. When we saw that Sister Yanyan was your granddaughter, we thought that Sister Yanyan was in the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy, so we wanted to come to the academy to find her and let Oscar get to know her formally.
Unexpectedly, Sister Yanyan hadn't started school yet, but we were caught by the Meng Education Committee for wandering around because we couldn't find anyone."
Xue Tianxing spoke so vividly and with such sincerity in his eyes that even Oscar almost thought he had fallen in love with Dugu Yan at first sight.
At this moment, Dugu Yan was standing at the door of the hall. She had originally followed Bai Baoshan to handle the admission procedures, but she was always thinking about what had just happened, so she came back early and happened to hear what Xue Tianxing said.
Her face suddenly turned red, her cheeks seemed to be stained with the sunset glow, and even her ears were red.
Then Dugu Yan secretly peeked out from behind the door frame and her eyes fell on Oscar - Oscar was wearing an exquisite suit, with handsome eyebrows and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were particularly bright. He was indeed a handsome young man and a cute little brother.
Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a subtle ripple in her heart. She quickly retracted her head, but her heart beat faster.
Oscar was completely stunned. He stared at Xue Tianxing with wide eyes in disbelief, his mouth wide open enough for an egg to fit in, his eyes full of shock as if to say, "When did I fall in love at first sight?"
He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but Xue Tianxing quietly nudged him with his elbow. Then he met Dugu Bo's scrutinizing gaze, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He could only suppress his blushing and pretend to agree with it. He also pretended to be embarrassed as his thoughts were exposed.
After hearing what Xue Tianxing said, Dugu Bo's face instantly darkened.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Oscar, his eyes carrying a bit of the sharpness of "scrutinizing his grandson-in-law". His gaze was like a knife, making Oscar shiver all over and shrink back subconsciously.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction:
"Boy, you're so brave! How dare you covet my granddaughter? Do you know who I am?"
